<dd><p>Compute the density (kg/m^3) of an inert fluid particle.</p>
<p>If the particle is compressible, this method computes the particle 
density following McCain (1990), using the API gravity (ee pages 224 
and following in McCain).  This would be typical of an oil.</p>
<p>Otherwise, the method returns the constant density stored in the 
internal variable <cite>rho_p</cite>.</p>
